Xbox One digital download codes starting in August

You might have been one of the voices shouting for better options when buying Xbox One and Xbox 360 digital download codes, and if this was you then August is a great month.

Today, we hear that Microsoft will be offering more ways than ever before to purchase digital content on Xbox 360 and Xbox One. The digital download codes will be available to buy for certain games only, although both the UK and United States will feature select stores offering this new service.

Gamers will be able to pickup gifts still at retail, although the Xbox digital download codes will be an additional option to access digital games and add-ons through paid-for codes. Our readers should also note that the Xbox Games Store and Xbox.com will of course still offer content in the same way.

August will start with digital download codes for State of Decay, Max: Curse of Brotherhood, Forza, and Halo. There will be more countries added soon, and of course plenty more games you can purchase codes for as well.
